Appleby finds rich form at Aus Open
5/12/09| Stuart Appleby might be a little disappointed that he didn't win the 2009 Australian Open which concluded at the New South Wales Golf Club, La Perouse, NSW on Sunday. However his performance this week must have done wonders for his confidence as he played the kind of golf his supporters have longed to see this year. Appleby seemed to be playing a tournament of his own the first two days, shooting two consecutive 66's while playing on the tougher side of the draw in extremely windy conditions on the tough layout. He was several shots better than anyone playing on ...

Putting Technique
The most important element of technique in putting is aim. 80% of the influence of the direction of the ball is the face. What we found with Stuart Appleby’s putting early this year was a tendancy to aim the face left. The putting triangle he is using to correct his aim in the photo is also used to practice reading. Stuart has placed a tee behind... [Read more of this review]
